Should this really be in the golf section?
So you spend half the time catching the fish and the other half preparing the fish.
Big deal.

First, swing smoothly. Think of the golf swing like being a pendilum. You know how the pendilum goes back and then goes that far forward,... the same speed, the same distance. That's what you want on the tee box. The Pros call it tempo,.. keep your tempo smooth and you'll see a big difference.
Also, make sure that the club face is square when you step up to hit the ball. Put the ball in the middle-to-front of your stance. Press your hands slightly in front of the golf ball.
A good way to practice at the range is to stick a tee in the ground. Approx. 18 inches behing the forward tee, stick another tee in the ground. Push the back tee almost all of the way down into the ground. Now practice, slow and smooth,.. back over the back tee, and slow and smooth back over the back tee, and hit the forward tee. Replace the forward tee and place a ball on it. Strike the ball, going over the tee back, and over forward. That should help you hit it straight.
After you get that squared away, email me and I will give you the tips on distance.

You may be gripping the club to hard. Try to lighten your grip.
Take a slow and easy swing. You're club face is hitting the ball open (slice) and closed (hook). A open club face USUALLY means that your hands are too far in front of the club (maybe dropping your shoulder), closed face means your hands are too far behind. The club will generate enough speed to hit the ball, so just slow down your swing.
Good luck

quickest way to determine your flaw is swing slowly. hit the range and address the ball you normally would. swing SLOW. I mean real slow. You're not trying to outdrive the guy next to you so just keep it slow and steady. You'll be able to see what you're doing wrong, i.e. dropping your shoulder, gripping too hard etc. most people tend to hook/slice simply bcuz they swing too hard and don't realize that something in your swing like your grip or arm position isn't catching up with your swing fast enough. try it nice and slow and as you keep hitting the ball as you like it, swing a little faster each time until you reach a fault and figure out what you did wrong. -

Put your feet together and if you are hitting it straight than you have the right backswing path but if it isn't your swing path is wrong and you can find the right one in a Tiger Woods book. After you hit the ball you need to release the club. DO NOT cup your wrist and try to make you right hand "shake hands with the target."

You need to work on your preswing routine. check you grip stance, lining up, and swing path. You can find links to tips that will help you on my blog roll or go to

How about going to the range more.
